Best 6 Creamy Parsnip Squash Bake Recipes

ROASTED SQUASH, PARSNIPS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Position oven racks in the upper and lower third of the oven, put 2 baking sheets in the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.
• Cut all the vegetables into evenly sized 1 1/2-inch chunks. Cut out the core of the parsnips if they are tough and woody. Toss all the vegetables with the garlic, oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a generous grinding of pepper in a large bowl.
• Carefully remove the hot baking sheets from the oven and drizzle with oil. Divide the vegetables evenly between the 2 pans and spread into a single layer. Roast the vegetables until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Toss with the parsley and chives.

CREAMY PARSNIP & SQUASH BAKE

Steps:

• Place the cream, onion or shallot and the thyme sprig into a small pan. Slowly heat to just below boiling point, then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Strain, discarding the onion and thyme.
• Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 4. Rub the bottom and sides of a gratin dish measuring about 20cm x 30cm with butter. Peel the parsnips and trim the ends. Peel and scoop the seeds out of the squash. Thinly slice the vegetables.
• Layer the parsnip and squash in the dish, pour over the infused cream, then scatter with the thyme leaves and gruyère. Bake for 1 hr until golden and a fork slides easily into the veg.

CREAMY PARSNIP & MUSTARD GRATIN

Steps:

• Slice enough parsnips thinly lengthways to cover the surface of a small ovenproof dish, then slice the rest thinly into rounds. Combine the milk, cream, stock, mustard and half the cheese in a large, lidded saucepan and bring to the boil. Add a good grating of nutmeg and some seasoning - the sweet parsnips can take a bit of salt - then tip in the parsnips. When the cream is simmering again, cover and cook for 6 mins.
• Using tongs, fish out the long slices of parsnip and set aside. Tip the rest into your dish, then arrange the long slices over the top. Scatter with the rest of the cheese and another grating of nutmeg. Can be chilled for up to 24 hrs.
• To serve, heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and bake for 1 hr, then turn up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 and brown for 15 mins more - you can do this while the pie is resting.

Roast, turning occasionally, until vegetables are tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While vegetables are roasting, heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil with garlic in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic just begins to sizzle. Remove from heat.
• When vegetables are done roasting, remove garlic from oil (discard garlic) and toss vegetables with garlic oil, olives, and parsley.
